[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will add that the transfer portal and the new (preliminarily approved) 28 player roster cap is and will continue to make it more difficult for HS kids to get onto a college team (esp. P4/5 D1 programs).  There were an insane number of players in the portal this year and more international players every year.  We know a number of kids who had verbally committed to D1 programs, shut down recruiting and then lost their offer as a result of the roster caps.  College teams will definitely still be looking for incoming freshman every year.  It's just gotten more difficult now.[/quote]

DMV club parents are generally not honest about recruitment for their daughters.  There is a huge difference between being recruited by a D1 school with significant scholarship money AND a real shot to make an impact in college VS. pushing every angle under the sun to try and get a roster spot.  It's hard to spend 5 to 7K a year for 6 years in the ECNL and then realize your daughter is not being "recruited" which I totally get, but some of these "recruitments" are manufactured by parents are very used to getting what they want for their kids.[/quote]

Just went through the process and not at our club.  I have heard this but really have not seen it.  Recruiting has been straight up.  All but a few at the bottom of the roster were recruited.  The bigger issue for kids playing ECNL and to some degree GA is where do they want to play/where would they go.  There are a lot of colleges that these girls would not go to even as D1 and even with money because of academics.[/quote]
